And thankfully, we got a call
from Hollywood records, which is, you know, under the Disney umbrella.
And they said, we know what to do with the guys.
And a couple of weeks later they had us on the Disney channel and things just started going.

Um,
I think our parents did a great job.
We all turned out somewhat okay, I think.
But you know, you've seen the stories.
We've all seen the stories of people that have really struggled coming out of that or while they're in it.
And I think it's a credit to their parenting.

We had to move out of our home because we were living in the church parsonage, which is owned by the church.
So we moved into basically a little house in a place called Little Falls, New Jersey.
